A Fortune 500 homebuilder needs a division manager to head its business in two Southwestern cities.

The division manager will have the chance to oversee all of the daily operations within this geographic area, liaise with the company’s executives and achieve yearly performance goals. Reporting to the regional president, the position entails profit and loss responsibility, direct employee oversight, hiring and enforcement of company policy and business practices. Strategic operation of the division also will encompass purchasing, estimating, construction and sales management. Additionally, the successful candidate will be responsible for staying abreast of design trends, features and costs in his or her region. Further market analysis will inform the cost management and budgets that this manager will develop for each community.

The ideal candidate will have a strong and successful background in sales and marketing. As this individual will report regularly to the regional president and convey company policy to subordinates, strong communication skills are also key. This position calls for someone with problem solving and analytical skills to handle a wide variety of challenges where only limited standardization exists. At a minimum, the job requires a bachelor’s degree, seven to ten years of related sales and marketing experience or some combination thereof. Candidates should bring a track record overseeing high-value projects and meeting performance targets.
